Fair play Issam you are the man, your always coming up with great ways for us to improve our cars. :funk:
Looks like I'll be picking these up, along with a baffled sump and some more suspension bushes over the winter ... the shopping list gets longer! :D
Group buy ... slightly lower intro price? ;)
Actually yes
WAY Lower
sorry I didnt get time to do this last night.I swear only Europeans understand the concept of product developement ,I will never understand the american way....whatever.Too many whiney kids on the vortex asking for a lower price saying it was overly expensive.[/end rant].
See updated price
Do these fit all vag 5/6 speed boxes?
Awesome, add me please! I wasn't fishing for cheaper prices BTW, just asking (I saw the thread on Vortex!).

these are for pin type gear selectors only Sam yea? difficult to see from the picture.
5spd's here have push on ball joint type for your info, and some 6spd's also have the same.
peeps need to check their fitments.
Should fit all VAG 5/6 speed boxes....
Bill got an image to confirm the cables?
Issam put me down for a set too.
I'm needing a couple of other bits too, would it be possible to have these shipped at the same time to cut down on costs;)
cheers
Ok I have 2 more sets available
Rob and Junior email me your shipping addresses incase they have changed
you know the drill
New linkages arrived today, will fit very soon and give driving impressions. Big thanks to Issam for these.
Fitted the new linkages today, but they did not go straight on though. One would not go over the spindle at all (the larger hole) but after some very light work with a dremel it went on, still nice and tight so that was fine. However inside both where the cable goes inside it, neither were deep enough to fit properly, so I had to drill them a bit, I marked how deep the OE ones were on the drill bit and drilled the new ones to the same depth, this waas very easy and only took a few seconds, the holes were deep enough just not quite wide enough for the cable to go right in. It was only very minor work to get them to fit properly but they didn't fit or work without doing this. I lubricated inside the bushing sleeves with white lithium grease.
Now they're on shifting feels nice and tight, more positive than before, there was ALOT of play in my old linkages.
So all in all,good product or ok? Javad really wants the feedback.
Barring the very minor fitment issues they are good yes, they tighten up the shift a treat, would have been 100% spot on if they'd gone straight on, 5 min job.
Small update, the linkages got a good workout today as I was doing some VAG-COM logs, the new linkages feel tight, firm and positive, they definately improve the feel of the changes, feels really chunky and solid now, nice improvement.
Got these today after serious shipping issues with the Aberdeen agent.
100% nothing to do with Issam as these arrived in aberdeen in a timely fashion from America but it took the aberdeen base three feckin weeks to tell me about this package, THREE WEEKS!!!
Will get these fitted next week ish and tell all:)
